Gobind 10th Birthday



Shiv joined the mini celebrations from Irvine as his Company Spectrum Pharmaceuticals was scheduled to declare 2Q earnings. This is historic picture as four generations are visible. Shilpy did this wonderful shot.


There was impromptu gathering of Gobind's neighborhood friends who came knocking at the door as he was about to blow the candles.

Gobind was very keen to do 'Ardaas' in Baba Ji's room himself. So he did it nicely in English only though. As he says Baba Ji understands every language. The following Hukamnama was blessed by Baba Ji.


This is the screen shot of Hukamnama, Harvinder was blessed as the Karhah Parsad was offered as the only ceremony  we normally do first thing in the morning.




Gobind lovingly jumps on my back to give a historic shot.



A Mexican dinner at  'On The Border Mexcani Grill and Cantina'. We had sumptuous fillings  of Chips, Salsa, Guacamole, Enchiladas, corn and Flour Fajitas and Grilled Veggies with Black Beans, Cream etc. Gobind wished to have Enchiladas and he had a full.

A hug and cake from grandma Harvinder

To celebrate this great occasion, A Kirtan was arranged on the following weekend on Saturday the 10th Aug. Shilpy and Harvinder had managed to invite all near and dear well in advance to attend the function at our Sherwood Ct home. Nearly 170 persons attended which included significant number of kids of Gobind's and Jania's age. 

Hazuri Raagi Bhai Tajvinder Singh Ji blessing with tonight's Hukamnama.

Hazuri Ragi Harimander Sahib Amritsar, Bhai Tajvinder Singh Ji has been in the Bay Area for a while on leave. Bhai Sahib has in mean time successfully completed his Batchulars in Ethnic Studies from California State University, Sacramento. On a special request from Shiv, Bhai Sahib graced the occasion to render melodious Gurbani Kirtan on this day. Believe me the Sherwood court home got a little bit reflection of glimpses and vibes of ambience at Sri Darbar Singh Sahib itself. Bhai Tajvinder Singh Ji is a role model for many young Sikhs in general but western Sikh Community in particular.



Bhai Sahib grossly involved in Kirtan accompanied by his younger brother on Tabla. Bhai Sahib appreciated the beautiful chords supported by Shiv on his organ.

The Big birthday celebrations could not have been completed without seeing a Movie in nearby Regal Cinemas Dublin
